Quatrième de couverture
The first two editions of Models of Democracy have proven immensely popular among students and specialists worldwide. In a succinct and far–reaching analysis, David Held provides an introduction to central accounts of democracy from classical Greece to the present and a critical discussion of what democracy should mean today.
This new edition has been extensively revised and updated to take account of significant transformations in world politics, and a new chapter has been added on deliberative democracy which focuses not only on how citizen participation can be increased in politics, but also on how that participation can become more informed.
Like its predecessor, the third edition of Models of Democracy combines lucid exposition and clarity of expression with careful scholarship and originality, making it highly attractive to students and experts in the field. The third edition will prove essential reading for all those interested in politics, political theory and political philosophy.
A companion website to Models of Democracy provides lecturer and student resources; including a study guide, an interview with the author and links to develop the reader′s understanding of the topics covered.
Revue de presse
"The great global struggles today are not over democracy versus other forms of government but over the meanings and practices of democracy themselves. There is no better critical and engaged survey of the complex histories and contemporary struggles over this deeply contested concept than David Held′s third and improved edition of Models of Democracy, precisely because it is written in awareness of its own contestability."
James Tully, University of Victoria
"Models is the kind of established classic which both demands and merits revision every decade or so."
David Beetham, University of Leeds
"Everyone who has used Models will welcome this new edition. Newcomers will find a wide–ranging and reliable analysis of past and present debates about democracy and gain an understanding of what is at issue in current global arguments."
Carole Pateman, Cardiff University and University of California at Los Angeles

Paperback. Six pages scattered through the text show HI-LIGHTING AND MARGINALIA. Else, Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: The spine leans some; but the binding remains perfectly secure; otherwise remarkably bright and clean. Clearly, this is a flawed copy, but one that remains, in appearance, very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. xii, 321 pages.

Gutes Exemplar; OUmschlag stw. lichtrandig u. berieben. - Englisch. - How should we understand th scope of democracy? To what domains of life should it be applied? Or, alternatively, should democracy be clearly delimited to maintain other important ends? In this major new study, succinct in its analysis but far-ranging in its scope, David Held examines changing responses to these questions from classical Athens to modern times. The context, nature and limits of each major development in democratic theory are explored. Among the-thinkers discussed are Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Locke, Wollstonecraft, Rousseau, Mill and Marx, as well as twentieth-century analysts of democracy including Weber, Dahl, Hayek and Macpherson. David Held concludes the book with an argument that seeks to move contemporary discussion beyond the seemingly endless juxtaposition of one classical position with another. He defends a conception of democracy that departs decisively from both the liberal and Marxist traditions. . (Verlagstext) / INHALT (Auszug) : .
